I've made this map of medium size to experiment some drawing techniques and home-made textures.

There is no clear background and all the names come from a random word generator I've programmed.However if you look carefully you will notice that, like in many fantasy worlds, an evil empire seems to expand quickly to the detriment of the neighbouring kingdoms by exploiting some magical forces (here the growing of a scorching desert).

If you are interested in old maps you will also notice that the style of the decorations is influenced by different cartographers of the XVIth and XVIIth centuries.
